Improving the Measurement and Communication of Information Security Risk

Improving the Measurement and Communication of Information Security Risk

Jim Hietala, VP Security, The Open Group

Risk analysis has grown to be a critical function in enterprises. As organizations are confronted with a confusing array of threats, gaining a more precise understanding of which risks are the most serious ones to address is important. This talk will explore common challenges in risk analysis, including measurement of risk, cognitive biases that inhibit effective analysis of risk and communication on risk with senior executives. It will also discuss popular risk management frameworks and how they deal with these topics.

The Open Group published our Risk Taxonomy Standard, based upon FAIR (Factor Analysis for Information Risk) several years ago to address the need for a standardized taxonomy in risk analysis. We have also now published a companion Risk Analysis Standard, and have launched a new risk analyst certification program. The talk will provide an overview of these standards, and how they address the issues of risk measurement and communication.

Put EA in the Driver Seat to Deliver Value and Innovate: ­Now or Never!

Enterprise Architecture teams often struggle to deliver value let alone drive business innovation. Often EA teams get caught up in setting technology standards and policing ongoing initiatives. EA teams find it hard to balance between tactical and strategic focus and many times fail to become relevant to IT and business.

In this session we look at how EA teams can lead from the front to establish focus on innovation and drive tangible business results. We use a backdrop of current business and technology trends to make a case for change by using language that business can understand. We review a set of proactive activities that EA teams need to do now to enable technology driven innovation and provide competitive advantage to their business. We discuss real life case studies and lessons learned so that attendees and their EA
teams can avoid costly mistakes and valuable time. We show practical ways to utilize EA frameworks like TOGAF to quickly become relevant to business and deliver value. Finally, we provide a takeaway summary that you can use immediately in your organization to drive innovation and deliver tangible business results.

Key takeaways:

• Put EA in the driver's seat to focus on business innovation - play a leadership role in enabling and driving change
• Apply lessons learned from real-life case studies and costly mistakes that EA teams should avoid
• Ways to utilize TOGAF in real-life to deliver business innovation

Platform 3.0 in the light of Enterprise Architecture

Gautam Bhat, Chief Architect, IBM India Pvt Ltd

UNIX provided a standard platform for applications on a single computer Servers, PCs. Internet provided a second platform for web applications and services. For the present Enterprise Architecture, the need of the hour is a third platform to support applications and services that use cloud, social, mobile computing, big data, and the Internet of Things.

With the advent of strategic changes in business initiatives, the Enterprise Architecture is expected to undergo a drastic transformation. The change in customer base requires architecting across multiple systems and exploring the platform capability through multiple workloads. IDC predicts that worldwide IT spending will exceed $2.1 trillion in 2013, up 5.7% from 2012. Smart mobile devices will generate more than 50% of this growth from 2013 through 2020, a combination of social cloud, mobile, and big data technologies will drive around 90% of all the growth in the IT market (the "third platform"). These technologies cannot be deployed in standard products and services using today's technology platforms.

Each of the themes - Big Data, Social, Mobile and Cloud has to finally fall into the scope of a single overall Enterprise Architecture. Enterprises should be able to create, evolve, adopt and use solutions based on current and future emerging technologies to achieve business value. These solutions must Enable Boundary less Information Flow, allow users to mix and match technologyproducts and services, support the business innovations that enterprises want to make, including changes in the style of business operations. The best way to achieve this is by uniting/merging all these 4 independent facets into one and Platform 3.0 is just that.

This presentation will provide business cases and its applicability to Platform 3.0 and what do the clients feel and think about it. Finally we conclude by summarizing the discussion and touching upon Platform 3.0's fitment into new era of Enterprise Architecture.

Key takeaways:

-- Assists technologists and business people in understanding Platform 3.0 vision of Boundaryless Information Flow by helping enterprises to use Cloud, Social, and Mobile Computing, and Big Data.

-- Enables organizations to identify a set of new platform capabilities and architecting and standardizing an IT platform by which enterprises can reap their business benefits.

The enterprise are continuously trying to devise new means to transform their customers experience with their product and services thus wanting to create a competitive differentiator for themselves. Today's customer is connected and the data generated on internet carries an invaluable wealth of information for an organization. The maturity of mobile devices, adoption of social supported by enabler such as cloud and big data makes it compulsory for enterprises to give thought to BI architecture design for important considerations like unified integration architecture and data governance. Without a well-planned BI architecture, enterprises tend to fall into the trap of building silos of inconsistent data hosted on fragmented architectures which results in uninformed decisions leading to lost opportunities. An enterprise approach to BI can help in fully leveraging internal and extended enterprise information, enhances with social data and delivers superior insights to decision makers.

The aim of this paper is to analyse needs of new age BI, its architecture and its importance in enterprise architecture definition in the digital enterprise of today.

Key takeaways:

-- The growing importance of BI in today's digital enterprise,
-- Best Practice architectures to meet the needs of unified integration and data governance.

Adopting TOGAF® to develop Winning Proposals

Adopting TOGAF® to develop Winning Proposals

In general, several architects use TOGAF® to create the architecture during the full cycle of project implementation. However, companies are required to provide business centric solutions for large complex transformational deals during the proposal development stage. The overall architecture needs to be articulated as part of the proposal response and also to be presented to the customer during the evaluation phase.

This presentation brings unique experiences of how TOGAF can be applied during the proposal development stages and the advantages it brings through defining a suitable architecture. The presenter brings the best practices in adopting TOGAF ADM during the bid development for large nationwide, transformational programs in the Government sector. Using TOGAF helps in creating architecture, meeting various stakeholders objectives and can bring unique selling proposition to the proposals. TOGAF helps in creating value to the customers and helps in articulating how the architecture will enable the value creation.

Leveraging TOGAF ADM, one can address how architecture enables the customer to achieve their vision and goals in the proposal. Using Phase B, the architects can present the business architecture covering business processes, services and functions and how they deliver the business goals and objectives. Leveraging the Phase C, the architects can identify the common applications and prepare a high level data architecture during the proposal development. In Phase D: Technology Architecture, the architects can detail the software architecture, hardware architecture, network architecture, security architecture etc. ADM also helps in explaining how the non-functional requirements such as availability, scalability, response time etc. can be articulated in the proposal response. ADM also helps the architects in making decisions such as build vs. buy, re-using blocks from the architecture continuum, technology section, reducing the total cost of operations etc. The check point reviews embedded into the proposal reviews.

Architecture definition through TOGAF can become enabler in winning the sale.

Key takeaways:

1. TOGAF ADM as enabler for sale

2. Establish TOGAF as standard architecture development method during the proposal development stage.
